By performing density functional theory calculations, the adsorption configurations of formic acid and possible reaction pathway for HCOOH oxidation on PtPd(111) surface are located. Results show that CO2 is preferentially formed as the main product of the catalytic oxidation of formic acid. The formation of CO on the pure Pd surface could not possibly occur during formic acid decomposition on the PtPd(111) surface owing to the high reaction barrier. Therefore, no poisoning of catalyst would occur on the PtPd(111) surface. Our results indicate that the significantly increased catalytic activity of bimetallic PtPd catalyst towards HCOOH oxidation should be attributed to the reduction in poisoning by CO.

The present theoretical and experimental results in the literature for formic acid (HCOOH) oxidation into CO on Pd(111) cannot rationalize the well-known, easy CO poisoning. The present study reexamines HCOOH oxidation on Pd(111) by performing density functional theory calculations. Upon a thorough search, we present a new adsorption configuration of HCOOH on Pd(111). From the calculated energy pathway, we proposed that CO arises from the reduction of the hydrogenation product CO2 and direct dehydration of formic acid during HCOOH oxidation on Pd(111), with latter step being energetically easier. The present theoretical study rationalizes the early experimental findings and provides insights into the deactivation problem of Pd catalyst in the process of HCOOH oxidation.

The methanation of carbon dioxide over Ni5 supported on activated carbon (Ni5/AC) was studied by using density functional theory and climbing image – nudged elastic band methods. A reaction diagram for the formation of methane via CO or HCOO species, which consists of 14 reaction steps was proposed. The reaction energy and activation energy for the overall steps involved in the reaction process were calculated and analyzed. Following the proposed mechanism possible carbon byproducts of the CO2 methanation reaction are CO and HCHO. Formation of these products can occur at high temperatures, but it is more thermodynamically difficult than formation of CH4. The formation of CH4 is more preferably occur via the CO pathway than the HCOO pathway.
